Abstract
 Introduction: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy or Berardinelli-Seip
syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized
by the near absence of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue from birth
or early infancy with severe insulin resistance. It is caused by mutations in
the gene for AGPAT-2 on chromosome 9 or BSCL-2/Seipin on chromosome
11 resulting in triglyceride-depleted adipocytes. BSCL-2/Seipin is a cell
autonomous regulator of lipolysis essential for adipocyte differentiation.
 Case: A 6-year-old male child presented with abdominal distention. He was
noted to have a characteristic phenotype with generalized absence of
subcutaneous fat over the body with acanthosis nigricans and
hepatomegaly. His anthropometric indices were above the 75th centile for
age and he was in sexual maturity rating Stage II. Investigations revealed
hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia with fatty infiltration of liver and
hyperinsulinemia with normal Growth hormone levels and accelerated
bone age. The clinical features, pathogenesis, management and prognosis
are discussed.
